The open mic at Downtown Berkeley’s Freight & Salvage is one of those rare events that local pros flock to watch (Dana Carvey once held the mic). Rather than performing in a dingy setting battling chatty audiences, this beloved venue stage showcases each artist like they’re a headliner. It’s first-come, first-serve, with doors opening at 7pm (check the calendar to see which Monday or Tuesday night of the month it lands on), and enjoy the appreciative vibes in a beautiful setting.

When not writing, she keeps her hands busy (and dirty) with old guitar strings and soil, and enjoys engaging with the Bay Area’s diverse environmental and cultural beauty. She loves puns to a fault and shamelessly laughs at her own jokes.
